I’m no longer in my usual sit spot, as the semester has ended, and I’m traveling in Taipei at the moment. The city is integrated with nature in a much different way than Singapore. I notice sacred spaces like temples having many more natural areas such as waterfalls or fish ponds, but the overall city […]
Month: May 2024
Adaptation
Right now it’s late evening, but despite that, as always in Singapore, it is hot. Though it’s started to finally cool off a bit, cooling off only means it’s now 85 and humid instead of 95 and humid. I’ve gotten adjusted to it now, but it’s made me think of the way natural life has […]
Amidst the Mangroves
Sitting here, it’s hard to remove the human made sounds from the natural ones. Singapore is really just one huge city and though there are areas of rainforest, ocean, or even mangrove forests, it feels above all, as a place truly completely man made. Now, if I pause to listen I can hear the wind […]

Finale :(
I realize that this is my last time by my tree, my sit-spot, and it has been a place where I’ve been able to debrief. More importantly, it’s the perfect place to remember that we need to always take care of nature, as it is the reason why we are alive. It becomes so easy […]
#7

What I will carry forward with me from my study abroad is the understanding that being an agent of change requires a solid baseline knowledge of the issue at hand and a commitment to ensuring that change is rooted within the community it affects. My project is a photo collage of my time in Jordan, […]
Climate Legislation
There has been significant environmental legislation to tackle climate change like the Environmental Protection Law No. 6 of 2017 and the Environmental Investment Law No. 21 of 2022, for a number of reasons, with two main ones being: Jordan is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, and climate change is expected to […]

paraty
I cannot be at my sit spot this week, but I had the privilege of visiting Paraty, a city within Rio de Janeiro. Truly a paradise with lovely nature and a diversity of islands and beaches. We were able to visit a total of five islands. The water was blue and clear, clear enough to […]
